Host Rich says:
Prologue: The Arondight is proceeding on its way towards the asteroid. About all of the Away team has reported to sickbay in the last hour with various aches and pains
Host Rich says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::on the bridge:: OPS: ETA until we reach the asteroid.
FCO_Chottu says:
::in sickbay, head thumping loud enough to make him worry that opening his eyes might lead to his head exploding::
CMO_Rangi says:
:: has administered mostly analgesics::
CTO_Williams says:
::Wakes up on the biobed, feeling much better, he address sickbay in general:: SB: Am I good to go?
EO_Rhian says:
:: in engineering.  making scheduled adjustments to the injectors ::
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: Checking
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: The computer is projecting another 30 minutes
FCO_Chottu says:
::slowly opening his eyes, the light reminding him of the bright flash he saw before passing out::
CMO_Rangi says:
CTO: You should be fine, but be careful out there.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: As soon as we get within visual range put it on the view screen.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: Yes, ma'am
CMO_Rangi says:
::goes into her office and taps her badge:: *CO*:  Captain, something odd has been happening lately. I think you should know about it.
CTO_Williams says:
CMO: Thanks.  ::He rubs his newly healed head and heads out of sickbay, heading for the bridge::
FCO_Chottu says:
::moves his hand up in front of his eyes to block some of the light::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: What is it Doctor?

FCO_Chottu says:
::turns his head to the side slowly realizing he's in sickbay::
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: Captain in the past hour we have had most of the away team coming in with various ache's and pains. These were some of the symptoms that the adults were facing.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Were you able to ascertain if they had been infected with the disease?
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: I'm speculating that this is due to the radiation. I have reviewed the quarantine logs, NOTHING down to the molecular level that wasn't us got through.
CTO_Williams says:
::Goes up the TL, and reaches the bridge.  He takes his post over from the serving TO::  CO: Lt. Ryan reporting, ma'am.  Clean bill of health.
FCO_Chottu says:
::rolls off the biobed slowly looking for the exit::
EO_Rhian says:
:: walks over to the console and compares engine output after his adjustments to specification ::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Run whatever tests you need to Doctor.  I want to be certain that the disease did not get through somehow.
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO* :Captain when I last checked on the boy he is now half the age he was before.  Something is causing him to get younger while we are getting older, as I can assume, Only the AT members are effected.
CTO_Williams says:
::Starts scanning the area and updating himself on what’s going on::
FCO_Chottu says:
::notices the doc not being in the room and slowly walks towards the sickbay exit hoping not to draw the attention of the other staff::
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: I have had my teams working on it since the first case came in.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::in SB with Ralph, who now appears to be about 20 years old::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Glad to have you back.  As son as the asteroid is within sensor range start scanning it and come up with a way to destroy it.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
::overhears the conversation between the CO and CMO and starts to get worried... what if they all have the aging disease and are going to die soon and painfully...::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Do you need to quarantine the away team?  And could they have already spread the disease to the rest of the crew?
FCO_Chottu says:
::sees the CNS, with the recent encounter of people that hung themselves, makes towards the exit a bit quicker::
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: I assure you nothing has gotten through.  You know I DON"T let things get through. The common denominator is the radiation.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
::starts moving around in his seat, moving all of his various joints to see if there is any aching yet::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Doctor...things happen despite our best.  I want everything double-checked, triple checked if you have to.  That's an order.
CTO_Williams says:
::Runs a basic diagnostic on tactical systems::
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
::as his neck makes a loud crack as he looks down at a change in the sensor readings::  CO: Ma'am, I'm starting to detect a large dust cloud  at the coordinates of the asteroid.
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: I feel that only the away team will be affected. Only those that were on the planet will be affected.  I feel it would be advantageous to have the away team gathered together to observe their condition, but not quarantine.
FCO_Chottu says:
::exits sickbay and heads towards the nearest TL, head starting to calm::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Are we within visual range?
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: I have double-checked, triple checked, beaten a dead horse checked the systems nothing down to a molecular level. Currently I'm comparing what is happening with the boy and what is happening with the away team.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Understood Doctor.   Have the away team report to sickbay.  I believe you have the FCO already.  What is his status, by the way?
EO_Rhian says:
:: as the computer runs and engine output comparison, he activates a link to one of the external hull cameras and watches them close on the asteroid ::
FCO_Chottu says:
::steps in the TL and mutters:: Self: Which quarters are my deck on again. ::shakes his head lightly::
CMO_Rangi says:
<Orderly> FCO: where do you think you are going? :: grabs him by the scruff and hauls him back into sick bay::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Is the path that we and the asteroid taking bringing us close to any inhabited systems?
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: Aye ma'am... maximum magnification.  ::brings up a view of the cloud on the main view screen::
CTO_Williams says:
CO: No ma’am.  Not as far as our star charts go... and that's pretty far. ::smirks::
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
::continues looking over the always-changing sensor readings::
FCO_Chottu says:
Orderly: My quarters.. I just got a shock, I'm fine now. Though if you could talk softer some..
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::suddenly realizes something the doctor said:: *CMO*: Doctor?  Why would you beat a dead horse?  And where would you get one?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Good.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
Aloud: Huh?  ::double-checks the scans::
Host Rich says:
Action: The monitor that the EO is watching suddenly blows up in a shower of sparks.
CMO_Rangi says:
::looks out her office door::  *CO*:  He is currently being brought back in due to sneaking out by one of my orderlies,  It is an expression captain.  You would whip a horse , an animal used of transportation, to go faster,  No matter how much you would whip a dead animal it will not go faster
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Thank you. ::looks at the view screen::  How far around the core of the asteroid is the dust cloud?

CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: I'm going to confer with the CNS the answer is here on these records but I just can't see it.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: Um, this is odd Captain.. I'm find trails of a few other asteroids all converging on the same spot... I'm starting to think the dust cloud might be all that's left.  
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::thinks that terrains definitely have strange customs and sayings:: *CMO*: Understood Doctor.  Thank you.
EO_Rhian says:
:: jumps back quickly brushing his uniform and hair to make sure he is not on fire :: Himself : Wonder they ever got out of their own solar system with this equipment
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Are you saying that this is a collision of several asteroids?
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: I'm getting debris as well as dust in the cloud now....
CMO_Rangi says:
::pokes head out of office:: CNS: Counselor  I need you in my office.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: That’s what it appears as
EO_Rhian says:
:: begins to check the console to find what caused the explosion ::
FCO_Chottu says:
::sighs, back in sickbay:: Orderly: Fine, fine, get me some aspirin while you're up.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Take us within 100,000 kilometers and brings us to a full stop.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::watching Ralph, who is currently taking a nap, and wondering what would become of him now that they were sure he'd survive - did he have family, or anyone to take him in?  Snaps out of it when the CMO calls her over:: CMO: Sure, Rangi I'll be right in there.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
*Engineering*: I need to know if the main sensor circuits can take a bit more power, I need to up the resolution.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::tucks the covers over Ralph and goes into the CMO's office::  CMO: So what have you found?
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS: Have a seat, I wanted to go over with you some things.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.  ::inputs the commands into the helm::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::sits down and smiles, trying to be positive in spite of everything:: CMO: Sure
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS:  What was done to the boy and what was done to us? Drugs, precautions that stuff
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Lt, raise shields.  And scan the area, see if any more asteroids are heading this way.  Try and triangulate where these other asteroids may have come from.
EO_Rhian says:
:: crawls out from under the console he is working on :: *OPS*: I see no reason why the power could not be increased, but please gradually.  No sudden power transfers
FCO_Chottu says:
::lies back on the biobed and closes his eyes figuring a nap couldn't hurt::
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Of course.  Done.  ::Sets up an auto scan, and Raises shields::
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
*EO*: Thanks..  ::ramps the power up slowly::

CNS_DiDomnia says:
CMO:  Well, we were all in EVAs when we were on the planet, and were in containment once we got back to the ship...  I believe that Ralph was in a quarantine environment too, when he came to the ship.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
::gets a higher resolution from the scans:: CO: I can identify debris in the cloud that came from the original asteroid.
EO_Rhian says:
:: walks to a functioning console and monitors the power increase ::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
CMO: I wasn't with the FCO and OPS when they found him so I can't be sure what kind of exposure they had to him.
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS:  According to Ralph and the records the colony people were given Hydroxlin. Then when we found Ralph he was given Adrenaline by you correct?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Anything artificial in the debris?
CNS_DiDomnia says:
CMO: Yes - it's supposed to counteract radiation and reverse the aging disease brought on by the radiation exposure.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: I'm still analyzing..  ::keeps working on the scans::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::thinks that med school for her was a long time ago, and she hadn't dealt with "traditional medicine" for quite some time, so she hopes that she didn't screw anything up::
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS:  We were in bio suits, so all radiation should have been blocked.  What was suppose to count act radiation?  and what was to counteract the aging disease?
CNS_DiDomnia says:
The Adrenaline is supposed to work against both, if I’m not mistaken
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: I'm only reading asteroid debris, multiple asteroids, but that's it.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Can you tell how many asteroids converged on that spot?
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS:  Ok  then what is different between us and the boy?  Each of us had the adrenaline, and soon as he had it he started reverting to normal.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Scanning....  looks like 3.
CMO_Rangi says:
:: feels like Sherlock homes talking to Watson::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Where did the other two come from?
CMO_Rangi says:
::taps in a page to all officers who were on AT to sick bay now::
EO_Rhian says:
:: replaces the damage isolinear interface and a power coupler, tries to reactivate the damaged console ::
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS:  We didn't have the Hydroxlin.  If we administer that it is possible that it might block the disease.  If not it wouldn't cause damage to anyone at this point.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::thinks for a moment:: CMO: I don't know...  Ralph is a child and we're all adults, so naturally he might be more resilient than we are...  he also spent a lot of time among the generators on the planet, they could have given off something that ameliorated the disease...

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::is at a loss:: CMO:  If it couldn't hurt, then I'd say go for it.  Perhaps it was a combination of the two that helped him to get better.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Just from other angles and other systems.  Nowhere specific.  There are 3 pieces we should take care of
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Can we destroy them with phasers?
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS: Counselor it is better than sitting here and waiting for us to die of old age.  Some of the older members of the team are already showing the signs of pareses being unable to produce insulin, and liver working over time to distribute sugar.
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS:  I still have the FCO in sickbay, if he agrees we can try it on all of us.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
::suddenly gets a slight pain in his left arm and starts to panic... until he notices that he was just leaning against his console at an odd angle::
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS: Given your species you may be the best person to administer it as you have the longest life span.
FCO_Chottu says:
::sound asleep::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::is a little taken aback by her shift in temperament, but figures it is just stress on the job:: CMO: That seems like a good idea.  How long will it take to manufacture all of that?
CMO_Rangi says:
::steps into sick bay and goes to the nearest medical replicator and pulls up and dosage of Hydroxlin, then heads to the FCO's bio bed::  FCO:  Hey wake up...
FCO_Chottu says:
::mutters::
CTO_Williams says:
::Rubs his head:: CO: Yes, phasers should do it.
Host Rich says:
Action; As the FCO wakes he rolls off the bio bed.
CMO_Rangi says:
:shakes FCO:: FCO: Hey Fly boy wake up I need your help.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: CTO: As soon as we are in range, fire and destroy whatever is left.
FCO_Chottu says:
::hits the ground:: CMO: I'm suing.
CMO_Rangi says:
FCO:  Well get up or would you rather slowly wither away and die on the floor or help me save your fellow crew members.
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS: Start making enough dosage for each of the AT shouldn’t take more that 30 minutes.
FCO_Chottu says:
CMO: Help how?
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Done ::Sets the computer up to auto fire on the asteroids::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::nods to the CMO and goes to the replicator to begin making the Hydroxlin::
FCO_Chottu says:
::puts a hand on his head, which is pounding again loud as ever::
Host Rich says:
Action: The phaser fail to fire at the pieces.

CMO_Rangi says:
FCO:  If I give each of the AT a dose of Hydroxlin I think it would stop the spread of the aging.  I wanted to test my theory on myself and you.  You have the shortest life span of the AT and I wouldn’t' put it on the other's until I did it on myself,
CTO_Williams says:
Self: Um... ::Opens up a barrage of torpedoes instead::  More then one-way to do this.
Host Rich says:
Action: The torpedoes fail to fire also.
FCO_Chottu says:
::closes eyes:: CMO: What aging?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks over at tactical:: CTO: Lt.  I ordered you to fire phasers.  Is there a problem?
CMO_Rangi says:
::holds up a mirror to show the gray in his fur:: FCO: We have what ever the colony had due to the radiation.  The gamma radiation was able to get through the suits,
FCO_Chottu says:
::eyes still closed:: CMO: Fine, fine, just stop yelling, as  long as it doesn't require moving, do whatever.
CMO_Rangi says:
FCO:  It is your choice to do this . I can't guarantee this will work.  Ok :: administers the drug::  Oh and I'll get you an analgesic for your head.
FCO_Chottu says:
::rolls against the side of the biobed and curls up::
Host Rich says:
Action: Shortly after the drug is given the FCO hair starts to turn its normal color.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: The phasers didn't fire for some reason.  So I used torpedoes.  Sorry ma’am.  I'm running diagnostics now. ::Runs advanced diagnostics::
CMO_Rangi says:
::scanning the FCO for any reactions to the drug::
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Except the torps didn’t work also.
FCO_Chottu says:
::purrs::
CMO_Rangi says:
::shouts:: CNS:  Counselor we have a winner!
CTO_Williams says:
::Runs Diagnostics on the torpedoes::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::finishes the rest of the Hydroxlin:: CMO:  Good, because the rest of the drug is ready for distribution
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::brings it over to the CMO so they can give it to the rest of the AT::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Call engineering then.  And next time..please wait until given the order to use torpedoes in a non-life threatening situation, Lt.
FCO_Chottu says:
CMO: Will you keep it down! ::hisses::
CMO_Rangi says:
::taps badge as she administers her dose and offers the hypo spray to the CNS::  *CO*: We have a cure, Thank the ancestors we have a cure.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Okay, I found the reason.  There was a short in the system that eluded my previous scans.  It should be fixed now.  ::Fires phasers::
Host Rich says:
Action: the phasers take out the pieces.

Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO/CTO: Confirmed, the remaining asteroid pieces are dust
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Cure Doctor?  I thought the away team was suffering from gamma radiation poisoning.
CMO_Rangi says:
:: grabs the FCO by the ears  kisses his forehead:: FCO: Furry you just saved the away team.  I so owe you now.
EO_Rhian says:
:: Hears the phaser being fired, checks the weapons systems as they fire ::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::after being hypo-ed herself, picks up some doses to get ready to administer::
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*:  The poisoning can be blocked and reversed by administering a dose of Hydroxlin. It interacts with the adrenaline already administered.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Good work, Lt.  I want full scans of the dust.  Make certain that it can't cause the disease that destroyed the science colony.
FCO_Chottu says:
::cringes and starts crawling towards the sickbay exit::
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Of course.  ::Scans the area::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Very good, Doctor.
CMO_Rangi says:
FCO:  You are free to go.
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*:  I sent an order to get the AT down here for treatment but no one has shown up.
FCO_Chottu says:
::crawls out of sickbay towards the nearest TL::
Host Ralph says:
::wakes up from his nap:: All: Is anyone here.
CMO_Rangi says:
CNS:  Counselor take care of the boy.
FCO_Chottu says:
::curls up inside the TL and closes his eyes:: TL: Close.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::hears Ralph wake up::  Ralph:  Don't worry, we didn't go anywhere ::smiles and goes into the other room to check on Ralph::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Ralph:  Did you have a good nap?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Call them again, Doctor...and tell them it is a direct order form the Captain that they report immediately to sickbay for treatment.
Host Ralph says:
CNS: Yes. When are we going to get to my grandpa's?
CTO_Williams says:
::Sends some engineers to make sure these "Shorts" don't happen again::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::was totally unaware that they were dropping him anywhere, but doesn't let him see that:: Ralph:  It won't take too long... we just had to take care of some people on the ship first, that's all.
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO* Aye Captain.
Host Ralph says:
CNS: The first person that I talk to said that you would take me to my grandpa.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Ralph:  That was the doctor, right?  ::sits down on the biobed next to him::
Host Ralph says:
CNS: I think so.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Ralph:  Well, she wouldn't have said that if it wasn't true.  Don't worry, you'll see him soon.
Host Ralph says:
CNS: Thank you. ::rolls back over and goes back to sleep::
CMO_Rangi says:
*CSO/TO/anyone that was on AT*: Report to Sick bay immediately captain's order.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Contact Starfleet and tell them the threat has been alleviated.  And then take us back to the science colony.
Host OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: Aye ma'am.
Host Rich says:
